What we're seeing "out there" is the projection of where we're at--the projection of the clingings of our minds.

You can't build joy on a feeling of self-loathing.

When the faith is strong enough, it is sufficient just to be. Its a journey towards simplicity, towards quietness, towards a kind of joy that is not in time.
